Ankle Biters, You've Been Warned

At the Fox Oakland last night, before the Bob Dylan show. Do these folks follow Dylan around, or do they just look for likely rock shows with large gatherings of the soon-to-be-damned? I'm taken by the lists of people who face condemnation in this crowd's book--a curious collection of life-style misdemeanants ("sports nuts"), other Christians ("Catholics"), even non-humans ("vomit-eating dogs"). And homosexuals, of course. And ankle biters. Ankle biters?

The sign below promises Jesus will destroy "unforgiving liars ... effeminate revilers ... deceitful adulterers" and so on and so forth. Does that mean Christ will look the other way for liars who forgive, manly revilers, and up-front adulterers?
